A "Pod" typically refers to a group of marine animals, such as dolphins or whales, that travel and live together. These social structures help them communicate, hunt, and protect each other from predators. Pods can vary in size, with some containing just a few individuals and others consisting of dozens. In technology, a "Pod" can also refer to a unit of software deployment in cloud computing, particularly in Kubernetes. In this context, a Pod is a group of one or more containers that share storage and network resources, allowing them to work together efficiently within a larger application.
